Kisah Para Rasul 6:1

The Appointment of the First Seven Deacons

6:1 Now in those ²  days, when the disciples were growing in number, ³  a complaint arose on the part of the Greek-speaking Jews ⁴  against the native Hebraic Jews, ⁵  because their widows ⁶  were being overlooked ⁷  in the daily distribution of food. ⁸ 

Yohanes 1:38

1:38 Jesus turned around and saw them following and said to them, “What do you want?” ⁹  So they said to him, “Rabbi” (which is translated Teacher), ¹⁰  “where are you staying?”

Yohanes 4:27

The Disciples Return

4:27 Now at that very moment his disciples came back. ¹¹  They were shocked ¹²  because he was speaking ¹³  with a woman. However, no one said, “What do you want?” ¹⁴  or “Why are you speaking with her?”

Yohanes 18:4

18:4 Then Jesus, because he knew everything that was going to happen to him, ¹⁵  came and asked them, “Who are you looking for?” ¹⁶ 

Yohanes 18:7

18:7 Then Jesus ¹⁷  asked them again, “Who are you looking for?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

Yohanes 20:15

20:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Because she ¹⁸  thought he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.”

[1:2]  ¹ tn Grk “may mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.”

[6:1]  ² tn Grk “these.” The translation uses “those” for stylistic reasons.

[6:1]  ³ tn Grk “were multiplying.”

[6:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “the Hellenists,” but this descriptive term is largely unknown to the modern English reader. The translation “Greek-speaking Jews” attempts to convey something of who these were, but it was more than a matter of language spoken; it involved a degree of adoption of Greek culture as well.

[6:1]  sn The Greek-speaking Jews were the Hellenists, Jews who to a greater or lesser extent had adopted Greek thought, customs, and lifestyle, as well as the Greek language. The city of Alexandria in Egypt was a focal point for them, but they were scattered throughout the Roman Empire.

[6:1]  ⁵ tn Grk “against the Hebrews,” but as with “Hellenists” this needs further explanation for the modern reader.

[6:1]  ⁶ sn The care of widows is a major biblical theme: Deut 10:18; 16:11, 14; 24:17, 19-21; 26:12-13; 27:19; Isa 1:17-23; Jer 7:6; Mal 3:5.

[6:1]  ⁷ tn Or “neglected.”

[6:1]  ⁸ tn Grk “in the daily serving.”

[6:1]  sn The daily distribution of food. The early church saw it as a responsibility to meet the basic needs of people in their group.

[1:38]  ⁹ tn Grk “What are you seeking?”

[1:38]  ¹⁰ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[4:27]  ¹¹ tn Or “his disciples returned”; Grk “came” (“back” is supplied in keeping with English usage). Because of the length of the Greek sentence it is better to divide here and begin a new English sentence, leaving the καί (kai) before ἐθαύμαζον (eqaumazon) untranslated.

[4:27]  ¹² tn BDAG 444 s.v. θαυμάζω 1.a.γ has “be surprised that” followed by indirect discourse. The context calls for a slightly stronger wording.

[4:27]  ¹³ tn The ὅτι (Joti) could also be translated as declarative (“that he had been speaking with a woman”) but since this would probably require translating the imperfect verb as a past perfect (which is normal after a declarative ὅτι), it is preferable to take this ὅτι as causal.

[4:27]  ¹⁴ tn Grk “seek.” See John 4:23.

[4:27]  sn The question “What do you want?” is John’s editorial comment (for no one in the text was asking it). The author is making a literary link with Jesus’ statement in v. 23: It is evident that, in spite of what the disciples may have been thinking, what Jesus was seeking is what the Father was seeking, that is to say, someone to worship him.

[18:4]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “knowing all things that were coming upon him.”

[18:4]  ¹⁶ tn Grk “Whom do you seek?”

[18:7]  ¹⁷ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:15]  ¹⁸ tn Grk “that one” (referring to Mary Magdalene).
